  • Great guitar!
Great guitar for the price range! I got lucky when I bought it, grabbed this on sale and only paid $158 lol. I'm an experience player and this is my first 7 string and I love it! I had it set up with Ernie Ball 7-String Slinky Cobalt 10-62 strings. I also had a bone nut installed (get rid of that trash plastic nut that it comes with). I installed locking tuners and Seymore Duncan Nazgul/Sentient pickups. This thing sounds great! Even at the current price it s a great buy. I did some research and all of the reviews I found had noting but good thing to say about this bad boy. If you're on the fence, just do it. You will be happy you did. I do recommend making the changes Idid to mine. It plays great. ... show more

  • Great Value - perfect for the "I want to try a 7 string" guitarist
I waited 6 months before posting this, because I didn't want the review to be just first impressions. Quick summary: Surprisingly good guitar for the price. Quality Control is iffy (to be expected). May need some setup (bridge adjustment). I look at this as the "good bones" guitar which is okay out of the box, takes a little setup, and can be amazing with some upgrades. First off, the quality of the guitar you receive will likely vary. This isn't surprising at the price point. I noticed a significant difference in the two I received. That said, it is usually fixable stuff. Also, I am not comparing this with my $1,500 + guitar, or even my $800+ guitars. That said, I do think it is surprisingly comparable to a $400ish guitar. Which surprised me. Neck: straight when I received it. very comfortable to play (especially considering it is a 7 string). Feels thin (despite not really being that thin). Frets: Decently smooth frets, required a slight polish / wipe. I have a couple sharp fret ends that need to be filed down, but they aren't enough to really bother me (hence I haven't actually filed them down yet). Bridge: works great (it's a fixed bridge, hard to screw that up). Action is set high (all cheap guitars are), easy to bring it down. Intonation was actually pretty close out of the factory, still required some setup. Pickups: they work. can't expect $250 pickups on a $200 guitar, but they are decent and get the job done. honestly, from what I see, most people starting out on a 7 string are chugging the 0s. These pickups are fine for that. That said, there are plenty of great pickups you can drop in to give this guitar a truly awesome sound. Tuners: Decent. Do their job okay. If/when I upgrade, probably one of the first things I would swap out. Not really a negative, but the low B gear ratio on the tuner makes it a little hard to dial in the tuning. To be clear, this is more of an inconvenience than an actual issue. Conclusion: This is a great guitar for the right person: (a) guitarist looking to experiment / try a 7 string, (b) guitarist on a budget that needs a 7 string, (c) guitarist that wants to upgrade pickups. Who this guitar is NOT for: true beginners. If you are just starting out playing a guitar, get a 6 string that is already set up. ... show more

  • It's a good entry level guitar, but not for beginners
Okay, guitarist with 18 years experience here. For the money, this guitar is great but needs some work which doesn't necessarily make it great for beginners. The one I received has a few fairly serious, albeit easily fixable issues. First, the neck relief is way to drastic to the point where I was getting massive fret buzz/dead notes primarily on the lowest notes. It's an unfortunate byproduct of a guitar being built on an assembly line by someone who doesn't know how to build guitars. Now, pop off the cover on the headstock and a few CCW turns of the truss rod adjuster and it's solid again. Second, the machining on the frets are real bad resulting in some mean burrs on the fret edges which will absolutely tear up your fingers as your sliding up and down the neck. Again, easily fixed with a $20 fret file and it's great. So while the value proposition is there. It will require a little aftermarket adjustments to make it totally playable which, if you're a beginner, you'd have no idea how to fix these issues. I would say this guitar is best for players with experience who are maybe looking to branch out into different musical genres or just wanting to experiment. ... show more

  • very solid guitar!
the guitar itself has a pretty great balance setup with the pin positions, very little neck dive as far as it goes the neck shape and feel I can honestly say its totally worth it!! i have stayed away from 7 string guitars as i had a Ibanez Ax7221 and boy the neck on that guitar was a wide D as opposed to a small D or small C which this one has, it makes an amazing difference and it feels comfortable to the point that I actually want to play it!, ive been going for drop A tuning, bear in mind you will have to invest in some thicker gague strings as the stock ones get a bit sloppy if you tune down like that. the pickups themselves is nothing much to expect for this price range, then again I was only playing with amp and onboard OD, with some decent EQ and pedals this should still sound pretty dang good, I still would consider this guitar with some mid-high end pickups to haul you a long way if you want to consider this for gigging, i can say its worth every cent! Currently I am picking guitar up again as i have not played for a solid 4 years and i can genuinely say i am having a pain free experience playing with this guitar :) get it! you will definitely not regret it! weight wise its not feeling too bad at all, not sure if its because i'm picking up the gym again but i usually have a struggle for guitars that have some weight , some back issues and this one doesnt feel too bad at all, have not played 2+ hours in a single session so far but all in all i consider this feels lighter than most guitars ive had there are a few cosmetic scuffs which i have not bothered to go about cleaning up, beside fret marker 24 there are a few white marks which looks like some sort of small impact on the part, i'll see what i can do to get rid of those and on the face of fret 1 there are whitish streams, not 100% sure what its from, but looks chalk like, no major issue and I honestly forget its there, but when i sit down to do a full maintnence check up on the guitar I will take care of it ... show more

  • Love it!! Don't be afraid of a cheap guitar
first off, 5 stars is based off price, and packaging ALONE. mine came today in 3 boxes, with wedges to keep it square, very nice foam and coverings inside. the guitar is 100% intact and perfect. setup was minimal, I will be doing it again when i get heavier strings. the strings that come on it are perfectly fine if you're playing in standard (BEADGBE). I will be drop tuning significantly. IF YOU'RE NEW TO 7 STRING, this IS the guitar for you. as i said, for the price you CANNOT beat this thing. very well done on Jackson Guitars and the seller here on Amazon. The paint is slightly wonky, it's not smooth like you'd imagine a matte finish would be, but i personally do not care. I buy guitars to play them not to look at em, HA! I can't say enough good things about ordering this guitar on here and it showing up unscathed. If you're tempted to order, just do it. 2026 and you can get a 7 string with flawless electronics and great sounding pickups, for under $300 and on your porch in just 2.5 days. Go for it! ... show more

  • I am absolutely stunned at how amazing this guitar is for the price
Ok, so some backstory to my purchase. I was 13, mowing lawns over the summers to save up money. I caught an interest in 7 string guitars for a whole bunch of reasons, but I won't go over all of them. Fast forward 2 years and I've finally saved up 200 dollars to buy this guitar. I bought it, and it was delivered 2 days after my birthday. I've had it for almost 3 weeks now. Pros: -Thin neck when compared to my other guitars. -The built in pickups are pretty good. -There are more high frets when compared to my other guitars. (there are 24, as my others all have 21.) -the fretboard is really smooth and feels great to play. -a little lighter than some other guitars I've seen. -extra low range means you don't have to change tunings all the time. -built in tuners are pretty nice. Cons: -intonation is an issue with a lot of extended range guitars. This can be easily fixed with a pair of skinny top, heavy bottom strings. -takes a little while longer to tune than a 6 string. Overall, this is an amazing guitar. It's really something special, especially due to how cheap it is compared to It's competitors. The matte black finish is the icing on the cake. I would highly recommend it to someone else who is just getting into 7 strings, as this is my first 7 string and it took no time at all to get used to the feeling of it. If you haven't played guitar at all though, I wouldn't tell you to buy this, as you want to start on a 6 string and upgrade to a 7 as your skills increase. (And yes, it djents.) ... show more

  • Unbelievable price
Nice, simple, straight forward, totally affordable 7 string. The dinky body style is comfortable to play and the neck is super smooth. The pups are dark, as expected. The delivery was quick and the packaging was excellent from Sweetwater.

  • Great Value
Played well out of the box, neck is ultra thin and great for metal. The inlays look cooler in person than in the pictures. The pickups are decent, clear on the high end with enough gain for harmonics, they are a bit muddy on the low end, but for 199$ I can’t complain too much. Frets were fine, minimal buzz but that can be fixed with minor setup adjustments. There was a sticky substance on the back of the headstock but I was able to wipe it off with a damp cloth. Overall it’s a great guitar. ... show more
